This sounds potentially confusing.
Is the self-explanatory red page that you get when clicking the link somehow insufficient?

The specific page opened for web forgeries seems to be pretty clear in informing the user, but from what I understand the suggested red tool tip should appear before the user even presses the Enter key. Am I wrong?
Also this bug sounds like a enhancement request - setting resolution as such.

It's not clear how this would enhance things exactly. The red page is way more informative than a red status panel would be.
